Strictly speaking they do, they just don't play in the Football League anymore. Ayrshire Juniors now I think?

Which nicely backs up the point I was making.

To be fair I think that last iteration of Clydebank kind of merged with the old Airdrieonians club to become Airdrie United which then became Airdrieonians again even though the distance between the two locations is about 20 miles.

Yeah, you could be right about that, Clydebank as it is now is a supporter owned club by the sound of it. Airdrie had the best name of a stadium anywhere back then, The Shyberry Excelsior Stadium.

Joking aside, it does back up what I said about there being too many clubs in such a small area, Clydebank and Airdrie are just two examples of clubs that have yoyo'd up and down and ultimately gone out of business. Gretna is another, although that was a mad owner as much as anything but they never had the fan base to sustain the spending that Brookes Mileson was throwing the the club. Carlisle fans always breathe a sigh of relief, he tried to buy them before Gretna.

I'm a bit disappointed to see that @blairio has been logged on several times and not added to the discussion rather than just say someone's chatting shite.
